>> woodruff: mitt romney has charged the u.s. could eventually face similar borrowing problems as some european countries because of the president's policies, something he's raised in all three presidential debates. >> spain spends 42% of their total economy on government. we're now spending 42% of our economy on government. i don't want to go down the path to spain. if the president were reelected, we'd go to almost $20 trillion of national debt. this puts us on a road to greece. we can't expect entrepreneurs and businesses large and small to take their life savings or their companies' money and invest in america if they think we're headed to the road to greece. and that's where we're going right now unless we finally get off this spending and borrowing binge. >> woodruff: while panic over the fate of the euro zone has calmed of late, big troubles remain. in greece, austerity measures continue to drive political unrest and protests among residents and workers, while spain and other nations wrestle with chronic unemployment espec
